Former Light Heavyweight champion, Jon Jones, returned to the Octagon tonight (Sat., April 23, 2016) to the sound of, "Coming Home," a fitting tune since he was last in action more than one year ago. Standing in his way in the UFC 197 pay-per-view (PPV) interim Light Heavyweight championship main event was Ovince Saint Preux, a dangerous opponent who was filling in on short notice for injured division champion, Daniel Cormier.
Both fighters touched gloves, a sign of mutual respect, as Jones went back to his corner and crouched to that he could crawl out to the center of the cage like he often does.
